Our team gathered insights on how COVID-19 is impacting consumer behavior.

We looked to our partners and other thought leaders in media, retail, and digital. We incorporated their findings with ours to understand what's happening across markets and make predictions based on these trends.

Here's what we cover in the report:

1. How COVID-19 has evolved the way consumers shop

2. How COVID-19 has evolved the way consumers interact with the world.

3. How brands can participate in the conversation

‍

Watch our Head of Measurement & Insights, Richelle Batuigas, outline how consumer behavior has evolved with the COVID-19 outbreak
